IMPORTANT INTERVIEW: Inevitability Of Middle East Regional War, 'God Help Us All'
All the pieces are in place and all the players have their script ... "This is our fate".
“There can be no compromise with war; it cannot be reformed or controlled; cannot be disciplined into decency or codified into common sense; for war is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.”
– Jeanette Rankin (Politician, activist, 1880–1973, USA)

There was an important interview yesterday with Matthew Hoh, former combat Marine officer, State Department official and now peace activist on the escalating race to regional war in the Middle East. He provides an excellent summary of the overall situation, the complete vacuum of rational moral leadership, dynamics at play and the missile-like arc toward international tragedy that will directly impact us all.
His closing statement sums up where things are at:
“My God we have to be humble. I think in a degree of what we may be on the verge of — what may be happening — what might have started right now as you and I are talking. Or it may be six weeks from now. Or six months. Or maybe it's six years from now, but we are — I would say — irreversibly on a path towards a regional Middle East war that unless we get some type of exceptional and surprising diplomatic efforts, and this would have to come from the Chinese. …But unless we get something like that — some Deus ex machina — this is Our Fate; to go into this war and then God help us all.”
Speak out.
Resist.
Prepare.

“There are some things you just can’t excuse. Of these, genocide is at the very top of the list. Literally the very top. Vote however you want to vote, but stop lying about it. Stop twisting yourself into psychological knots to stave off the cognitive dissonance you’d experience if you directly grappled with the contradictions in your worldview. Don’t let anything in you shy away from the horrors of what’s happening in Gaza between now and November just because you have a partisan political outcome you don’t want to put a wobble on.
“Be truthful.”
— Caitlin Johnstone, “US Troops Get Hurt In The Middle East Because Of The Assholes Who Put Them There”
Mark, the sooner “humanity” is wiped out, the better it will be for Mother Earth to begin her reset.
I just feel sorrow for all the beautiful species—both flora and fauna—that will be taken down with us.
“There are some things you just can’t excuse. Of these, genocide is at the very top of the list... Be truthful.”
This is the best quote of all time (and Caitlin has made some great ones). We need to be truthful--do we want peace in our time or do we want to nuke ourselves into nuclear winter? If we truly want peace, we'll work hard for it. We'll make diplomatic moves toward obtaining it. We'll stop giving arms to belligerants and genociders. But at the moment... It doesn't appear that we in the West are serious at all. The US is completely bewitched by the racist/zy0nist psychopathology of Netanyahu. God help us all.
